A Sympathy and Grief Poem:
I give you this one thought to keep,
I am with you still, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on the snow.
I am as sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone,
I am with you still in each new dawn.
A teacher participant said that Judy Collins offers some ideas for coping with a devastating loss such as an unexpected death in her new book, The Seven Ts: Finding Hope and Healing in the Wake of Tragedy.
